Life imprisonment without parole is horrendously expensive and the taxpayer is the one paying the bill.

A hangman, a bit of rope and a cardboard casket are a lot cheaper.
Execution precludes the possibility of overturning a wrongful conviction based on unearthing of new evidence. It's been estimated up to 6% of death row prisoners in America are actually innocent.

So, from a justice point of view, assuming similar deterrent effect, life imprisonment without parole is superior to the death penalty. It is, of course, also more humane.

If I was innocent of a crime I was sentenced to death for I would prefer a quick death rather than a lifetime of anguish rotting away in a cell.

If you were innocent, you'd want to bide your time in a cell until the verdict is overturned because you have hope and faith in the justice system.

Why not harvest the organs of the prisoner ,so that he can do good to society ?

Death penalty is never a guarantee that it stop crime.

But harvesting their organs will do good to society. We need organs.

Very few verdicts are overturned once sentence has been passed. Unless some do gooder takes up the cause of fighting an injustice they will just rot away forgotten by society.

The ones that make the news are few and far between and represent a tiny portion of the total number of cases involving miscarriage of justice.
